What To Expect

Agua Adentro Pens is located along Camino a la Sauceda, the 2WD main road that accesses the park. The site consists of three large shade shelters, several livestock pens with an active water trough, three fire rings, picnic tables, and a dry, vault toilet. The area is so large that it easy to move any horse or travel trailer around to make camp more comfortable. Located close to the center of the park, the equestrian has unlimited access to miles and miles of ranch roads and trails to explore.
Botella Pens is a located near the park entrance, just off of the main park road. The large area provides plenty of camping and parking space but users need to bring their own water. The site offers easy access to Terneros Creek and its scenic landscapes.
Escondido Pens is located near Sauceda Ranger Station and is approximately 2 miles off of the main park road on a 2WD high clearance road. The site consists of woven wire pens, an active, spring-fed water source, two shade ramadas, picnic tables, a dry, vault toilet and two fire rings. The upper Leyva watershed and its many wonderful features are easily accessed from this campsite.
Fresno Canyon Campsite, located in the bottom of Fresno Canyon, is accessible by 4WD road. It is necessary to ride saddle stock to the campsite, but camping gear can be hauled in with a 4WD vehicle. The site consists of 2 hitch rails, 2 picnic tables, and 2 fire rings. No holding pens are available. Seasonal water is located approximately ¼ mile from the campsite where livestock can be watered. Otherwise, water would have to be hauled to the stock. The grandeur of the west side of the Solitario and the historic Fresno Canyon are at your tent’s doorstep.
Jackson Pens is located on the 2WD high clearance road that accesses the Solitario area. It consists of woven wire pens, an active water trough, a fire ring and picnic tables. From here, one can ride into the collapsed volcanic caldera of the world-famous Solitario.
Javelin Pens is located on the 2WD high clearance road known as the Madrid Road. A ranch residence, now in ruins, is located at the site and is surrounded by the remains of pump jacks and other ranching artifacts. The site also consists of woven wire pens, 2 picnic tables, and a fire ring. All water must be hauled in. The Rancherias trail and the heads of several canyons are convenient to the pens.
